We need to come together to protect our most vulnerable Americans. People should be grateful that a Covid-19 vaccine was developed so quickly. The people who battled polio and smallpox would have done anything to accomplish such a task to help save their loved ones.

13 of our most vulnerable Americans were murdered by Joe Biden's buddies in Afghanistan.

It's the only responsible thing to do. We have an alarming amount of children hospitalized due to people dragging their feet.

This year, a total of 214 U.S. children 17 years old or younger have died of COVID-19 while 261 children have been shot in Chicago. This is what Democratic leadership produces. The Liberals are proud of this.

Just returned from Italy, where proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test was required to do pretty much any optional indoor activity from museums to restaurants to weddings, and masks were expected even for the vaxxed. They have 80% vaccination rates there. It was AWESOME. No drama.

Zach, maybe one day you and your moronic beliefs will end up in a hospital. Begging for oxygen. Wishing you had the vaccine. Or just die..This is NOT a political issue. God I wish people would stop being so short sighted and see this is a horrible pandemic. It KILLS people. It doesn't discriminate.

The vaccine is important to end the pandemic. People who refuse are only extending the virus. We all want to get back to life as normal. The vaccine is the only way to accomplish this. Unvaccinated people are causing overflow at hospitals and deaths.

The vaccine wont end anything. In fact, the vaccinated are spreading the virus. EITHER WAY, the virus has less deadly despite its high transmission. A good virus, a good parasite, a good politician, will never kill its host/voters.

Not true. Where and when are vaccines required? ONLY when the government is involved. Less government = more freedom. Homeschool your children.

No

The Supreme Court will send this mandate packing, and we should send Creepy Joe packing too. His mandate does not apply to Illegal Aliens. This mandate is only to take attention away from the failing economy and raging inflation, and all of his other massive failures that the Left is responsible for

I will not support any decision made by an administration that can't secure the border, has trust in a phony Dr. Fauci, and has surrendered to a third world country, controlled by the Taliban less than 20 years after they attacked our Nation.

All it's going to do is make more people unemployed than there already are and even more businesses with employee shortage. Why make it worse than it is??

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
